Have you ever....
Have you ever in your life thought of not working, not studying etc? All you wanted to do is stay home rot, sleep all you want, watch the TV as much as you like or even play all you want on the computer? Thoughts of doing all that flood your mind before? Wouldn't it be great if you can do all that and don't have to worry about earning a living?
As a matter of fact, i did ever thought of it before. There are many a times that i really don't feel like working or should i say i just don't feel like doing anything at all. All i wanted was to stay home rot, sleep, watch TV, play on my laptop and eat like nobody's business. I was once told by my doctor that those are signs of depression.
Is it really depression that I'm falling into? Or is it because of I just want to find a way out to release all the great amount of stress that is bottled inside me? What is stress? Does everyone has stress and that they are not aware of it? What is depression? Is it just a feeling or a face everyone has to go through it?
Stress is an interpretation of an event or circumstance which is understood to be a threat. It can be any force or pressure put on a system (living or nonliving) which may result in a need for the system to adapt or change. Stress on human beings is like a rubber band. You also stretch to meet the environment around you, the demands of your lifestyle, and the pressures you put on yourself. If pulled too far, stress manifests itself in real conditions mentally, physically, and emotionally. Like a rubber band breaks when stretched too far, human beings have a breaking point too.
In medical terms, Depression is an illness that causes a person to feel sad and hopeless much of the time. It is different from normal feelings of sadness, grief, or low energy. Anyone can have depression. It often runs in families. But it can also happen to someone who doesn't have a family history of depression. You can have depression one time or many times.
So is it depression that cause me to feel not doing anything including working? Or is it stress that is the actual cause of it? Or is it that i 'm just find an excuse for myself to escape from work etc? What do you think? Are you facing the similar situation that I'm facing and going through now? Or you are going through a different phase?
